Pentreath Beach

Landewednack, Cornwall, England, UK

A beach locale primarily known for good surfing rather than mineral collecting!

There is not much information on the sites minerals online.

Mindat lists several species – brucite, chrysotile, dolomite, and talc.

Holestrow quarry formerly exploited soapstone at one end of the beach.
